relegation play off match between rostrevor and clonduff is set to be played next friday night in mayobridge.

Is this a joke? Friday night under lights in Mayobridge?  Not much thought of supporters here with not even shelter over their heads when its possible on a night thats going to be at least cold

Here comes 6, you've become top used to the seats at Esler.

Personally I'm assuming that Esler needs a break. That really doesn't leave the county board with many options in terms of seating.

They could of course play it on a Sunday - but would a Sunday in Mayobridge be any warmer or drier than a Friday night?

Thou doth protesth too much.

Did we see a trup reflection of Clonduff today or were Burren just that bad because of missing personnel??? Dawson certainly did his old club a favour and at least they have a chance now to survive.  Im sure the kingdom are furious though.  They thought they had done enough to at least merit a playoff.  But they weren relegated because of todays result alone - thye had enough games in the season to stay up... What time will the game be next friday night??

What Burren did yesterday was nothing short of a disgrace, still think that game sholda been played with the rest of them. Its a joke, hateful shar if ever there was any, and thats Dawsons a right tool

[whitegoodman]

Useful input as always Ned!!!

Whilst I do not agree with Dawson's selection policy yesterday I think it needs to be taken into context.  They have already qualified for a league final, have an ulster campaign to look forward to and probably didnt want to take any risks against a team fighting for their lives in difficult conditions.  At the same time I dont agree with making 8 changes.

Relegation is over 18 games though and Kingdom can have no complaints.  Did the bridge have anything to play for or put out a full team when they played them in their last game?  Would you expect Kingdom to beat the bridge during the normal course of the year when the bridge have something to play for?  It swings in roundabouts and blaming Burren for their relegation is really badly clutching at straws.

Dont think too many throughout the county will be devastated given the antics of their manager throughout the year either!

 :well said whitegoodman . that poucher went on like a real muppet all year . Burren or any other team shouldn't  be slated for what way they line out there team  it'll do the kingdoms foul mouthed so called supporters no harm a bit of a run round east down . you seem pretty hateful yourself ned or are you just jealous or both . anyway goodluck in div 2 

[Leonardo]

Nobody is giving clonduff credit for the way the played. Burren had a good side out but clonduff played like a team fighting for their lives. They closed burren down and had them under pressure all day Should have won by more. Consistency has been a big problem for clonduff all year - they will need a similar performance against rostrevor. Any results from annaclone v ballymartin?

Division 3 Results

Glenn  0-7 0-10 Tullylish   
Mitchels  0-3 1-9 Carryduff     
Darragh Cross  1-10 1-9 Atticall     
Glasdrumman  1-10 0-13 St John Bosco     
Ardglass  1-12 1-9 Dundrum     
Kilclief  2-15 0-3 St Johns 

Mitchels are relegated to Division 4 and have been as long time. Dundrum and St Johns have to playoff next weekend with the loser going to Division 4.

Kilclief need five points from their last four games to take top spot and automatic promotion. If that happens then Tullylish and Carryduff will playoff to see who plays Kilclief in the Division 3 Final.

 leonardo  the bottom line is . if Burren wanted to put clonduff down the would be down  end of  .  bottom two go down is the only cure maybe they'll get the finger out a bit earlier next year !
